Twelve Years of Terrible Torture.

The gentleman who furnished us

years under the treatment of many
physicians, and was dOsed with all

in his own statement given below, to
which we invite the earnest attention
of all sufferers from the same dreadful

covering belt about mile wide crossed
the city from southwest to northeast. In
less than FIVE minutes it had come and

touch the earth and rebound. It first
struck little barn and demolished it, and
then it suddenly struck a two-and-a.half-
story frame building, nearly completed, in
which eight carpenters and two masons
were at work. The building was literally
broken to pieces and thrown down in q
heap. Three of the carpenteas, who were
in the attic, we're thrown nearly 16O feet,

effect.

and pounded his vile into insensibilitya
with the seme weapon. Satiated and
partially so5ered by the deed he fled.
The terrible deed YVES not discovered IN
til l O'Clock this morning, and the au-
thorities were notified. Drew returned to
his home at o'clock TO See if his
work was completed, and was
arrested by officer Hssty, who was
lying in wait for him. He was taken to
jail. where he admitted his hellish deed,
bot gave no reason for its commission.
Mackessy was removed to his home,
where he died at o'clock. He was un-
conscious to the last and could give no
version OF the affair. He was an inoffens.
i've man and is the victim of a drunken,
demon. Just before going to Drew's house
he had $40 in his pocket, but when found
only had 10 cents. Drew was searched,
but only little change was found on him,
though he may have secreted the money.
Mrs. Drew was terribly beaten about the
head and presented CHASTITY sight. Sue
was removed to the hospital and will prob
ably recover. She would say nothing
about the tragedy, and claims to know moth
ing about it. She and Drew have quarTeled
frequently, and he has nearly ended. her
lie several times. That he has not is a
general surprise.

MIR. Reeves Proposition.
Miami County Sentinell.

The novel but serious question is raised
by c. II. Reeve, of Plymouth, in a letter
to the Indianapolis Sentinel regarding the
legality oEthe recent sppraIssment of rail-
read property by the State Board OF Equal
ization. Mr.. Reeve is OF the opinion that
conceding the legality of the election of
Lieuteaant Governor Robertson, that
ofic;a could not legally assume his posi-
ton until the second Monday in January,
1889, as the constitution expressly provides
that the term shall begin every four years
on that date. As Robertson acted as
chairman of the State Board of Equaliza
ton, on the assumption that he is now
Lieutenant Governor, If he is not, the
action of the board is illegal. The SQ-
preme Court has repeatedly decided that
the law must be strictly observed in laying
a cloud on property which is the effect OF
an appraisement and tax levy,
